Talk about what still needs doing for this Friday and Saturday.

Do we move forward with insurance?

We should check on what reasonable coverages would be and then if we can afford it.

Follow up on member key revocation.

Discussion. We don't think we wronged this member, and there is a process for them to follow.

Policies.

Much Discussion, it's a work in process but we reached a consensus to reaffirm that significant organizational changes should indeed require a board decision.

Membership meeting:

There was a straw poll via doodle to find a better day of the week for the general membership meeting, and it seems that Tuesdays are good. However we don't have enough time to change it before this Saturday because we are required to announce it 30 days in advance. So it may be be a month or two before we can officially change it. However there are other options to change it sooner, but they require lots of work. For example we could circulate a membership petition.
